Fathers, Through The Ages
17 May 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I was reclining on the deck of the Safehouse the other day, enjoying one of these secret Winter/Summer days that Capetonians tend to keep to themselves when describing our home, for fear of coming across as braggards, taking in the sunset. The ol’ iPod threw out McCully Workshop’s The Buccaneer, which I’ve been known to […]

04 May 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ve wanted Bluetooth headphones ever since Rob Stokes raved about his pair, during our lunch at the Mount Nelson.

A Cape Town Panel Beater Who Understands Service – Well Priced And Clean
18 Apr 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m sure there is a valid reason why Cape Town Panel Beaters used to only be found a minimum of 20km from where I live. It always used to be Diep River, or Paarden Eiland or Epping or Maitland. Why were they never closer to me? Not that it matters – because times have changed […]
